    Well this is kinda easy to understand even as a westerner; you probably consider a gray/flecked pigeon as a something more or less dirty, but a white dove is the sign of purity and whatnot.

    Exactly the same animal, just different colouring.

    Somehow we just think eating French fries off the ground makes pigeons dirty but doves eating insects is completely fine.

      Pigeons are done so dirty it’s so sad.

      I mean I also would like if they didn’t cover everything in pewp en masse, preferably, but otherwise they’re beautiful animals that aren’t the “flying rats” people have dubbed them as.

      I think anything will be considered more clean, appealing, and less gross when it isn’t being forced to scrounge around a nasty toxic concrete city habitat for scrap sustenance, but what do I know. Lol
